Rules Are Meant to Be Broken

Baby5 looked apologetic, but her flushed face and happy expression surprised Hiyori.

"That's true, a guy who'll do anything to be needed. Poor baby 5, being used by her older brother like this, really..."

Hiyori sighed deeply, overwhelmed with emotion.

From the very first time I met Baby5, this guy was helping the fishmonger at her fish stall in her Amazon Lily to scale fish, simply because she mentioned that she needed her help.

The world Wano Country is truly as my older brother imagined. The legendary rare beast must look like Baby 5, Hiyori thought to herself.

"It's alright. Since it was my brother's order, there shouldn't be any problems. Let's go. Yamato should have finished his training by now. Let's go visit the Amazon Lily."

"I heard that to celebrate the return of the Boa family's older sisters, they specially prepared Gorgonzola Cheese Sea King Pasta. The name is strange, but it looks delicious. Let's go."

"Oh, happiness! I feel needed again, hehehe..."

Evening on Amazon Lily Island.

A grand welcoming ceremony was held, and the Boa Sisters, who demonstrated their strength, officially became members of the Kuja Pirates, choosing their partners from among the snakes.

At this moment, the entire Amazon Lily was bustling with noise and excitement. In a secluded corner far from the hustle and bustle of the world, Flame Flower seemed lost in thought, her gaze involuntarily falling on Yamato, who was eating and drinking at her house.

"Yamato, how old are you this year?"

"Awoo awoo awoo, ah? Age? I'm already thirteen years old, what's wrong, Elder Nyon?"

Yamato, engrossed in his meal, casually replied, which surprised Flame Flower. At only thirteen years old, he could already fight Rayleigh, and Rayleigh didn't hold back. This kid's strength was truly unimaginable.

Also, why do those horns look so familiar?

"Yamato, can you tell Grandma who your father and mother are?"

Flame Flower had a kind expression, but given the chance, she would never hesitate to poach talent from Uchiha Huayue's side, especially a future strong woman like her who could live on Amazon Lily without breaking the law.

Wait a minute, thinking about it carefully, the little girls around this guy are quite strong, especially Yamato in front of him. Not only is she Mythical Zoan Ability User, but she has also honed her three types of Haki to such a high level.

"My dad is Kaido, but my mom doesn't know. That damn muscle Gorilla never told me..."

When Yamato mentioned her father, "Cute Do," Yamato gritted her teeth, even tearing the Sea King meat in her mouth to shreds. But when her mother was mentioned, Yamato looked confused because she had never seen her mother and had no memory of her since birth.

"So that's how it is. It's Kaido. That explains it. No wonder he had such great strength from a young age..."

"Wait a minute, Kaido... Kaido! Why is Kaido's child under Uchiha Huayue? Could it be... Yamato? Answer me honestly, were you kidnapped by Uchiha Huayue?"

Upon hearing this, Yamato waved his hands repeatedly, his orange-yellow eyes flashing with a serious expression.

"No, no, no, my brother is very good to me. It's that damned muscle Gorilla who tried to kill me just because I stood with my brother. That despicable Pops!"

"I am his own daughter! What kind of bastard Pops would kill his own daughter! In the end..."

"I just ended up following my older brother around without really knowing what was going on, but life here is pretty good! Not only can we explore all sorts of strange and wonderful islands, but we can also see the ocean right in front of us!"

"I want to explore the whole world, stay by my elder brother's side, and become a powerful being."

With a clenched fist Yamato a determined look on her face, Yamato's earnest expression further extinguished Flame Flower's little scheme.

It's one thing to stay by Uchiha Huayue's side, but if Kaido finds out that his daughter stayed on Amazon Lily, he probably won't care about past ties and will come straight to his door.

Thinking of this, Flame Flower felt even more keenly the ruthlessness of time.

Once upon a time, that kid who was an apprentice in the Rocks Pirates has now transformed into one of the Four Emperors, and even shows signs of competing for the title of the Strongest Creature on Land, Sea, and Air.

"Hey, Yamato, Hiyori and the others want you to go to the Amazon Lily. They're right outside Kuza Castle. Go quickly and get ready."

The next second, a bag of crisp, melodious gold coins landed in Yamato's hand, instantly making her eyes light up.

"Really? That's amazing, bro! Love you!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With his feet moving in the Moonwalk, Yamato, who had just eaten about 30% of his fill, rushed excitedly towards the foot of Kuza Castle, leaving Huayue amused Yamato exasperated.

"This kid only acts like this when he lets them play. He's such a child..."

Upon noticing the newcomer, Flame Flower's expression turned strange, and she silently put down the newspaper in her hand.

Of course, there are also things that remain unchanged despite the passage of time, making one wonder if the things before us have an end to their lifespan.

"Aren't you going to attend the celebration at the foot of Kuza Castle? With your looks, if you let your hair down, no one would mistake you for a man, provided you slightly change your Adam's apple."

"I'll take this as your approval of my appearance. It's a pity I don't have a cross-dressing fetish, and besides, I'm planning to go check it out later anyway..."

Upon hearing this, Flame Flower's expression became subtle, and she asked without hesitation.

"You've changed your mind?"

"No, I just want to go to the festival to stroll around. After all, it's been a very long time since I've been there. The last time I attended a festival was more than 20 years ago, at the one held in God Valley."

Clearly, these words displeased Flame Flower, who impatiently offered a reminder.

"Men are not allowed to enter the Amazon Lily. This is an ironclad rule of Amazon Lily Island. Since you're on the island, you should follow the rules for this old woman."

"Come on, Flame Flower. Rules are meant to be broken, especially in front of the strong. Whether or not to follow them depends on their attitude, not on being held back by the rules."

As soon as she finished speaking, the person in the seat had vanished without a trace. Flame Flower sighed deeply. She knew that the arrogance and disregard for rules hidden beneath that gentle smile would put the ironclad rules of Amazon Lily in a passive position.

"A troublesome man. But even the emperors of hundreds of years ago never imagined that such a troublesome fellow would be involved with Amazon Lily. It really puts this old woman in a difficult position."

A huge campfire Kuma, the firewood crackled and sparks flew everywhere.

On the bustling street, Hiyori and her two companions looked around, already carrying a large pile of things in their hands.

It's clear that the three of them have already amassed considerable popularity in the Amazon Lily.

Besides, a certain Hokage who is currently wreaking havoc in certain situations in the Amazon Lily under the name of "fat sheep" seems to be even more famous.

At the very front of the banquet, during the initiation ceremony for the Kuja Pirates, Hancock involuntarily glanced around, a hint of disappointment in her azure eyes.

"Lord Huayue, you haven't come, have you..."
